Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a left knee condition, finding that the Veteran's present left knee condition is related to his active service. The claim for service connection for a right knee condition was remanded due to the need for an adequate medical opinion regarding its etiology.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a direct link between the Veteran's in-service injury and his current left knee condition, while no competent medical evidence supports a nexus between the right knee condition and either service or a service-connected disability.
